Art Deco platinum ladies wrist watch with diamonds and sapphires

Country of origin:
Although it does not carry any legible control marks we believe this to be of Belgian origin.

Style:
Art Deco - Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style which had its origins in Paris in the first decades of the 20th century. The style originated in the 1920s and continued to be employed until after World War II. The term "art deco" first saw
wide use after an exhibition in 1966, referring to the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes that was the culmination of high-end style moderne in Paris. Led by the best designers in the decorative arts such as
fashion, and interior design, Art Deco affected all areas of design throughout the 1920s and 1930s, including architecture and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as painting, the graphic arts and film. At the time, this style was seen as
elegant, glamorous, functional and modern. - See also: Art Deco

Style specifics:
Abstract motives and geometrical forms are quite typical for the Art Deco period. Art Deco moved away from the soft pastels and organic forms of its style predecessor, Art Nouveau, and embraced influences from many different styles and movements of the
early 20th century, including Neoclassical, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, and Futurism. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties and continued strongly in the United States through the 1930s. Although many design movements have
political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative.

Diamonds:
54 single brilliant cut diamonds (also called 8/8) with a total estimated weight of approx. 0.70 crt.
Note: All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate since the stones were not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting.

Total diamond weight: approx. 0.70 crt.

Precious stones:
Two triangle and twelve baguette cut sapphires (lab produced) (also called
verneuil
sapphire). The fact that these stones are lab produced has no influence on the value of this jewel. Natural rubies
and lab produced sapphires were both used in this era, rather more for their effect than for their intrinsic value.
